Triumph Stag – Manual/ Overdrive
Designed by Michelotti as a luxury sports car the Stag was enthusiastically received when launched in 1970. The Italian styling, V8 engine/ performance and Triumph brand should have guaranteed success but a rushed implementation led to the car quickly gaining a poor reputation and sales were disappointing. Over time post production solutions to this lack of development have been applied and the Stag is now recognised as a stylish classic with values rising quickly over recent years.
The previous lady owner bought her Royal Blue Stag in 1994 and after enjoying the car for a number of years instructed Faversham Classics (Triumph Stag Specialists) to undertake a full photographic restoration of her car.
The Triumph was stripped to a bare shell, all paint removed, new wings/ inner arches/ splash panels/ sills/ valance fitted, suspension rebuilt & powder coated, new hood, carpets, dashboard and all mechanical inspected (original Triumph engine retained) and overhaul as required…the list simply goes on and on.
The final cost was in excess of £18000 but the result was an absolutely stunning car that she loved and cherished for the next fifteen years.
Without question this is the best Triumph Stag that Milestone Classics have had the pleasure of marketing. The Royal Blue bodywork with black hood/ interior is an absolutely stunning combination – in addition the car comes with body colour hardtop. Mechanically, the car drives as good as it looks with brisk performance and intoxicating V8 soundtrack.
The Triumph Stag is rightly recognised as an iconic 1970’s continental tourer and this stunning car will give years of pleasure to the lucky new owner.
